Pinsk-Karlin (Hasidic dynasty)
Not to be confused with Karlin (Pinsk).
Pinsk-Karlin is a chasidic group which is an offshoot of Karlin-Stolin.
History
A distinguished group of the elders of Karlin did not accept the leadership of present Karlin-Stoliner Rebbe, who was a baby when his predecessor died. They asked the Lelover Rebbe to be their new rebbe. After the second generation the Lelover Rebbe did not want to intervene in politics, and withdrew as their rebbe. The chasidim then appointed Rabbi Aharon Rosenfeld, a Stoliner Chasid himself, as their rebbe. To distinguish themselves from the Karlin-Stoliner chasidim, they call themselves the Pinsk-Karlin.
